Interesting note about metal in ink: a friend of mine with a couple of tattoos had to have an MRI done recently. The machine heated up the metals in some of the ink used in a tattoo on her belly to the point where she ended up with second degree burns. It hadn't occurred to the MRI technicians that it could be a problem, but I bet they will think of it for future tattooed patients. I don't know if there's anything that can be done about it in a situation where an MRI is absolutely necessary, as it was in her case.
I join the sunscreen chorus, if the point hasn't already been sufficiently made.
